1986–1989 Mazda 323 / 1988 Mercury Tracer

Part #: SPF0103RK

Overview

The SuperPro Front Control Arm Lower-Rear Bushing Kit is designed to restore and improve the handling and stability of your Mazda 323 or Mercury Tracer from the late 1980s. Over time, factory rubber bushings can wear out, leading to compromised wheel alignment, increased tire wear, and less precise steering response. This kit provides a reliable upgrade or replacement solution to maintain optimal suspension geometry and driving dynamics.

Whether you're restoring a classic vehicle, performing routine maintenance, or seeking to enhance your vehicle's handling characteristics, this bushing kit offers a durable and effective fix. It is ideal for enthusiasts who want to ensure their vehicle maintains proper alignment and handling performance under various driving conditions, including spirited driving or daily commuting.

• Designed to reduce unwanted suspension movement and improve steering response, providing a more connected and confident driving experience.
• Engineered with a focus on noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) reduction, resulting in a smoother ride without sacrificing handling precision.
• Easy to install with direct bolt-on design, requiring no modifications or special tools, making it suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike.
• Supplies a comprehensive set of bushings to ensure all critical mounting points are properly supported and stabilized.
• Backed by SuperPro's reputation for quality and durability, ensuring your vehicle remains in optimal condition for years to come.

Construction & Design

The SuperPro control arm bushings are crafted from a proprietary polyurethane formulation that balances flexibility and firmness, providing superior performance over traditional rubber bushings. The bushings are precision-molded to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent performance. The design features a one-piece construction with reinforced internal structures to withstand the stresses of everyday driving and spirited use.

The kit's components are engineered to resist cracking, tearing, and deterioration caused by exposure to heat, oil, and road contaminants. The durable materials and meticulous manufacturing process result in a product that maintains its shape and performance over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing downtime.

Performance & Handling

Replacing worn or degraded factory bushings with the SuperPro kit significantly enhances your vehicle's handling characteristics. Expect improved steering response, increased stability during cornering, and more predictable suspension behavior. The polyurethane material provides a firmer feel compared to rubber, translating to sharper turn-in and better feedback from the road.

While this kit does not increase horsepower, it optimizes suspension geometry, which can contribute to more precise control and a more confident driving experience. It is an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking to restore factory performance or improve handling for spirited driving or light track use.

Installation & Fitment

The SuperPro Front Control Arm Lower-Rear Bushing Kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation. Basic mechanical skills and standard tools are sufficient to replace the worn bushings. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required. It is recommended to support the vehicle securely and follow proper suspension disassembly procedures for safety and optimal results.

• Ensure the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands before beginning work.
• Remove the control arm from the vehicle, then press out the old bushings using appropriate tools.
• Press in the new polyurethane bushings, ensuring correct orientation and fit.
• Reinstall the control arm and verify proper alignment and suspension operation.
